Ritalin + Fentanyl 100 Mc = Problem???? Is It Safe?

I am wondering if the new pain management patch Fentanyl 100 mc I've started would interact with Ritalin 40 mg day I'm given for severe weakness due to my old and misdiagnosed CIDP - I was looking for a better pain relief option, (OxyContin 80OP 3 day would "poop out" after 3 years), so this patch appears to be working (fingers crossed), but after reading many horrid stories of OD upon misusing, I was afraid now of my Ritalin intake along with the patch - I couldn't find any warning posted against it. Anyone knows anything? Please? Thank you, friends!

Hello, kSasha, how are you?

The issue here is that the Fentanyl causes sedation, since it's a narcotic and the Ritalin increases alertness. It's not that they can't be taken together, but there may some odd issues, so you need to be careful. You should double check everything with your doctor or pharmacist to be certain that they think it's safe for you to continue both.

Is there anything else I can help with?
